Job description

Permanent Opportunity - Mobile Specialist Cleaner - £32,250 + Company Van

All the relevant skills, qualifications and experience that a successful applicant will need are listed in the following description.

Are you an experienced window cleaner or specialist cleaning operative looking for your next opportunity? Do you enjoy working across a variety of sites rather than being based in one location? If you have experience in high-level cleaning, pressure washing or external cleaning and want to join a growing specialist team, we'd love to hear from you.

We're recruiting for two Mobile Specialist Cleaners to support a major UK retail portfolio across the East Midlands and surrounding areas.

The Positions Are Split Into Two Regional Territories

Peterborough: covering approximately a 90-minute radius from Peterborough

Northampton covering 90 minute radius from Northampton

Both roles are advertised from Northampton as the central location, but you will be assigned to one specific territory rather than being expected to cover both areas.

You must have a full UK driving licence and experience in specialist cleaning.

What's in it for you?

• Salary of £32,250 per annum
• Company van, fuel card and mobile phone provided
• Full-time, permanent position
• Paid training and ongoing development
• Opportunity to gain additional qualifications including IPAF (if not already held)
• Work across a varied portfolio of retail and commercial sites
• Stable, growing business with long-term contracts

Your Role

• Carrying out high and low-level cleaning across retail, commercial and industrial sites
• Specialist external cleaning including commercial window cleaning and pressure washing
• Completing planned cleaning tasks to agreed specifications and timescales

Responding To Reactive Cleaning Requirements When Required

• Working safely at height using the appropriate equipment
• Carrying out basic maintenance of cleaning equipment, including changing O-rings and ensuring equipment remains serviceable
• Using company PDA/mobile applications to complete job reports and documentation
• Building positive working relationships with clients and store teams
• Ensuring all work is completed in line with Health & Safety procedures and company standards

Working Hours

• Working any 5 days from 7
• Flexibility required for early starts and occasional overnight stays
• Standard working day with approximately 7 hours on site (8 hours paid)

About You

• Previous experience in commercial window cleaning, specialist cleaning or external cleaning
• Experience using pressure washing/jet washing equipment
• Comfortable working at height
• IPAF 3a/3b licence desirable (training available)
• IPAF Harness User qualification desirable
• Full UK driving licence is essential
• IT literate and comfortable using mobile/PDA technology
• Reliable, professional and customer-focused
• Flexible to travel within your allocated 90-minute regional territory
• Comfortable with occasional overnight stays when required

If you're looking for a varied, hands-on role where no two days are the same and you can develop your specialist cleaning skills within a supportive team, we'd love to hear from you.
